Bobby Clampett should know "Chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.



Speaking of The Masters, did anyone notice Jim Nantz actually said a funny on the air yesterday. As Tiger Woods was hacking up 18 and found himself in front of the 8th green, Nantz said, "I've been coming here for 23 years and have seen only one other person in that same position...Me!" Where did that come from? Great par by Woods, though.

Tiger has had kind of a normal Masters for him. Still in it halfway through, with several holes to play. As I was watching though, I think he's treated rather unfairly by the TV schedule. They always want him on late in the day on Friday at Augusta. I thought if he had the early tee time like some of the leaders yesterday, he could have improved significantly on his score. I guess the trade-off is he already has seen some of the harsher conditions where the others have not, which may work to his advantage over the weekend.

Defamer asks "What the hell is this?" regarding the DVD release of "There Will Be Blood". Not many extras, it would appear.

Cheap wine. All under $10 and allegedly good.

Catching up with Liz Phair. the last time I saw here was on a Bob Costas show on HBO a couple of years ago. Honest. Still thought that was odd, don't know why.

I'm assuming boxing is taking another blow from MMA with the cancellation of "The Contender". It's actually a good show that has produced some decent challengers, but I'm not sure the interest is there.

Bryant Gumbel is no longer the play-by-play guy on NFL Network. That is really a good move, but let's hope they come up with someone better. If it's Tom Hammond (Someone I know referred to him years ago as "the white Don King"), that's not bad. His Notre Dame duties, for the most part, would be over, by that time.
